Disarmed Mine

We were in the middle of the jungle when I made a step, and heard the click.


So did she, as she spun around.


"Leave. Now."


There wasn't time for a long goodbye, obviously. I was already dead. But despite my clear instructions, she instead knelt down to try and look.


"The fuck you doing?"


"If it's a X43, I can fix it! Or a Munroe Beta, too!"


I never realised how hard it was to maintain the exact same amount of pressure on a foot until then.


"Dammit, it's-"


I sneezed, my foot moved, amd nothing happened.


"A dud."
